Acknowledgements
This podcast series was designed by our trustees and our wonderful team of younger volunteers for 2025. We want to present a range of voices and perspectives so we have a variety of hosts and guests who are involved with our work. We also want to keep it fun and accessible, so have kept the conversations around 20 minutes long and inserted quirky segments like ‘Did you know?’ and Delia’s Dessert Discs. This series was produced by our 2025 volunteers and Caro C with thanks to funding support from National Lottery Heritage Fund. Podcast theme and 'Did you know?' segment music created by Caro C featuring sounds from the BBC Radiophonic Workshop virtual instrument by Spitfire Audio.

And finally, thank you to Delia for being an inspiration.
